Growing Fruit

Plant a fruit tree

Almost every garden has room for a fruit tree or a few fruit bushes. They don’t cost a huge amount and most will give you fruit for many years.
Buying Fruit trees and bushes online at Suttons
They are simple to plant and look after and will provide years of fruit for very little effort.
Whether you decide on an apple tree, a damson tree (something that’s delicious to eat, makes great jam and is virtually unknown in the shops!), pears, cherries, raspberries… so many different varieties. Suttons have an A-Z list of fruit plants and trees. It’s really very impressive the range available to buy. Of course those lucky enough to have lots of space could plant an orchard which would become an amazing place as well as a food resource!

Growing your own food in this way is so easy and rewarding. Imagine the fun you and your kids can have picking your own apples or plums! It’s such a great thing for kids too – to realise that they can grow food at home and it’s much nicer than what you’ll get in the shops.

Seeds and plants at Ebay
Ebay has a huge garden range including loads of seeds, plants and fruit trees. It does offer great value too and there are some really great bargains. Last year I picked up some comfrey plants and some asparagus for a lot less than I’d have paid at the local garden centre.
There’s also a really huge range of items available there too. Tons of different sellers and you can search by cheapest price including p&p if you’re hunting down the bargains!

An organic method of trapping slugs and snails that dare to venture into your garden! The trap should be buried where slugs and snails rest during the day and where they feed at night. It has an internal liner that can be removed to empty the catch, which means that you never have to dig the trap up. You will only need to empty and refresh the bait every 10-12 days and each trap can hold hundreds of slugs and snails. It is very easy to use, is low maintenance and has a pet protector bar to stop pets accessing the slugs and snails. The trap works by putting the bait into a solution of water or fruit juice which the slugs and snails can smell from over 5 metres away. Once in the trap they then can’t get out.The Trap is bought seperatly
